Aikido Communication for You

Aikido communication translates aikido wisdom into verbal and nonverbal communication: talks, situations and relationships. Aikido is a Japanese martial art. It is not a martial art of combat, but a martial art of harmony.

Instead of starting with a theoretical model in a slideshow, we start with simple martial art movements. We will soon discover that aikido is a clear metaphor. You do the exercises as you see fit. A beginner's technique is enough to feel what it means. You will then learn how to translate the movement into communication.

Aikido is the way of harmony, happiness, peace and respect. This way is based on physical and mental stability: zen. Zen in aikido does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of these things and still be calm in your heart.
